2. International H.323 Root Gatekeepers Project
Abstract:
The ViDe.Net international H.323 root Gatekeeper project provides at least one "root" gatekeeper in each of the three world time zones, Asia, America's and Europe, and provides the same service as the DNS root name servers, only for international telephone numbers. The project is a stop gap measure until ENUM, or equivalent, can provide a routing mechanism for international Video and Voice over IP. This talk describes the project, the dial plan supported, and how counties can connect to it.

3. Video over IP as an VoIP extension
Abstract: To enable successful delivery of video over IP, we need to solve lots of challenges coming from best-effort nature of the Internet. In this talk, we will quickly browse through so called network-adaptive delivery idea and related network support issues. Then, we will touch "video over IP" as an extension of VoIP, where we discuss the latest trends of VoIP. Finally we will briefly project the future of VoIP - toward interactive and advanced collaboration environment.
